Rear Spoiler Control Wiring
I am about to replace my stationary rear wing with an OEM spoiler. One of the wiring harnesses in the OEM spoiler I have obtained is stock in between the moving wing and the stationary part; so, I need to open the spoiler and release the harness.
So, my question is which wires in the harness (see picture) should be connected to 12 V current to have the wing go up and down (open and closed).
I appreciate your help in advance!
Cheers,
Zack

Not knowing the connector name, makes it difficult....
But see attached the drawing diagram.......
It looks like green/black extends and green/red retracts......
If that connector is X2/4 Green/Brown extends and Grenn/Gn retracts....

Dear Pesuazo:
I appreciate your response. I will give it a shot.
By the way, the connector shown is the connector that is on the side of spoiler, which connected to its mate, which is located in the engine bay, on the passenger side, beside the brake light.

Zack

Then that connector must be X23 on the diagram !

Dear Pesuazo:
Here is a picture of the connector with its 12 pins, and the exact wires corresponding to the 12 pins.
Please note that while my car is a US car, the spolier I purchased was from the UK, so I would say, it would be the European part of the wiring diagram that you shared.
Anyway, you had mentioned:
"It looks like green/black extends and green/red retracts......
If that connector is X2/4 Green/Brown extends and Grenn/Gn retracts".
However, as you can see from my diagram that there is no Green/brown (however, there is gray (GR)/Brown (BR)). Moreover, I do not understand what "Grenn/Gn" means.
Furthermore, if it is the other type connector, as you can see, there is no "green/black", nor is there any "green/red"
Note that there are three connectors (I believe them to be gpoing to Brake light 1, Brake light 2, and the fan). The wiring to these three connectors are as follows:
Connector 1: BK and thick BR
Connector 2: RD/BK and BR/OR
Connector 3: BL/BR and BR/BK (which is not one of the 12 pins! I tested it with an Ohm-meter)
The final question is that where is the ground wire? If it is the black wire, it apparently goes to the connector for the brake light.
Any comments?
Regards,
Zack
